Chelok
Chelok is the larger Island that holds almost all the major cities and industries. The Capital City of Penzance sits at the mouth of Penzance bay on the West Side of the island, and at the Estuary of the Frask River that flows from Frask Lake. Frask Lake acts as the center of the Island and it has three rivers that stem from it. To the south is Largin River that flows to the sea at the city of Bresk Point. The third river flows Northeast to the Makar Lowlands. Here the major trade city of Kera stands on the banks of the Ker Strait between Chelok and Chelaki. Three major rivers are all navigable most of the year, and they act as the major highways for trade and travel on Chelok.
The Island of Chelok can be split up into three major parts. In the North east is the Makar Lowlands. This area is filled with humid swamps, and floodplains. The region is perfect for the cultivation of cash crops such as Sugarcane, and Rice. This Much of this region is filled with large plantations owned by the Merchant Houses. The East of the Island is dominated by The Efyl Plains, named for the God of the Eastern Wind. This area is a vast plain with a large bay in the middle. It is lush land that is easily farmed, and frequent rains during the winter months provide for a very prosperous growing season. This region also contains the Capital of Penzance, and the Frask River as well as Petral Woods, and Frask Woods.
The final region is the Tarn Highlands, which is split between the Hill Country, and Rakan Cape. The Tarn Highlands are somewhat more elevated than the rest of the Island and hold the only mountains in the country in the Lylan Mountains. The Mountains split the Tarn Highlands into its two regions. The Hill Country covers the region from the Mountain Range to the shores of Lake Frask. Near the Lake a lone mountain called Savina Mountain provides the headwaters that feed the lake called the Savine River. The Hill Country is rich with metal ores. The important cities in the Highlands are Carlis, and Lylyn Port. Carlis is the major mining settlement, and it has one of the only major roads in the nation called the Iron Path, that leads from Carlis to Lylan Port where a majority of the ore is processed and transported. The Rakan Cape is a much drier region, and it has very little vegetation, and it is home to hostile life forms including colonies of Yuan-Ti, and also migrating bands of Shazin. The Rakan Cape is very autonomous from the capital of Penzance.
Chelaki
Chelaki is a much smaller island, and it is much less developed. The island has two major wet tropical forests. The west of the island is dominated by Trabas Jungle that is filled with many creatures, and wandering tribes of Tabaxi that refuse to settle down. Keraki is the only large city on the island, it is the younger sister city of Kera. Keraki primarily deals in lumber from the large tropical jungle of Shrad. The middle of the island has a small range of hills called the Trei Ridge. In the far west is Fort Parch on the coast. It is where the Northern Armada is based.
